HTML 5: Could it kill Flash and Silverlight?
,----[ Quote ]
| HTML 5, a groundbreaking upgrade to the prominent Web presentation
| specification, could become a game-changer in Web application development,
| one that might even make obsolete such plug-in-based rich Internet
| application (RIA) technologies as Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight, and Sun
| JavaFX.
|
| The World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) HTML 5 proposal [1] is geared toward
| Web applications, something not adequately addressed in previous incarnations
| of HTML, the W3C acknowledges. In other words, HTML 5 tackles the gap that
| Flash, Silverlight, and JavaFX are trying to fill.
|
| [...]
|
| Google may also face some touchy decisions. For example, its YouTube
| subsidiary uses Flash for its video, but the inclusion of HTML 5 capabilities
| in browsers might cause YouTube to rethink that decision, notes Fette. "It's
| a cost/benefit analysis that they'd need to make."
